The actor puts his own per

20、sonality into his acting but is nevertheless influenced by the director. We are not always aware of the subtle influences of our culture.【 59】 , we may not perceive that others are influenced by their cultures as well. Problems and misinterpretations do not result every time members from two culture

21、s communicate.【 60】 , when cultural conflicts do arise, they may be perceived【 61】personal rather than cultural. In the following example it is a【 62】 misunderstanding that creates negative feelings and confusion. A young woman from one culture is looking【 63】 of the window and sees a male acquainta

22、nce from another culture. He signals to her by puckering his lips . She quickly looks away from the window. Later she ignores him. He is confused and she is angry. The【 64】 was due to the womans failure to understand the mans nonverbal signal. In her culture, his gesture conveys a sexual advance. Ac

23、cording to his culture, he Was only saying (nonverbally) , “Oh there you are . Ive been looking for you.“ The womans misinterpretation resulted【 65】 her angry reaction and his【 66】 . If the two had known more【 67】 each others nonverbal cues, they could have【 68】 the cultural conflict. Some misunders

30、sure of the factory. Whichever one of these decisions is taken becomes the policy. It is clear【 65】 a decision leading to a policy can only be as good【 66】 the information【 67】 which it is based.
